I've been using my Sony BDP-S590 extensively over the past couple of days. I haven't tried the net gizmos nor its 3D capabilities; however, BD Movies & SACDs are rendered beautifully.

For the Canucks here, the regular price is around $150. Right now, online Future Shop.ca & Best Buy.ca (same company - Web ID# 10197142) has them on sale for $100 (shipping included) until 03 Jan 13. I purchased mine in Nov for $130 as a Christmas present to ourselves. Today I took my receipt into my local FS store & got a nice refund of $33 under their more than generous Price Protection Plan. In the past 6 months I've been refunded about $250 under this policy.

A S590 for $97/$100 is a steal no matter where you live. Get one while they last...

For what it's worth. Target is matching Amazon's prices all this year. I haven't read the article yet. But the person who forwarded to me says that you bring a printed amazon page with the price and they'll match it.

For me personally, I doubt that Target would have much of what it is I order from Amazon.

I think that the local FS Customer Service Staff are now cringing when they see me walk in with a receipt in my hand.

I believe that they are back to their normal Price Protection Rules & I think BB is the same, as follows:

You won’t get it for less anywhere else.1) If you find a lower price online, in-store or advertised in print we will beat it by 10% of the difference. 2) If you find a lower price online, in-store or advertised within 30 days of your purchase we will beat it by 10% of the difference. 3) If our own price is reduced within 30 days of your purchase bring in your receipt and we will refund the difference.
